Ingredients
  

2 slices of sourdough bread

1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken

1/4 cup Buffalo sauce

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 small celery stalk, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce. Adjust the amount of sauce based on your spice preference. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

      Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of sourdough, layer half of the cheddar cheese followed by the Buffalo chicken mixture. If using, sprinkle blue cheese on top, then add the remaining cheese. Top with the second slice of sourdough.

        Butter the Bread: Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the outer side of each slice of bread.

          Grill the Sandwich: Place the sandwich in the heated skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until golden and the cheese is melted.

            Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then cut it in half. Garnish with chopped celery for an added crunch.
